McDill Inland Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District officials nearly wrapped up the restocking of McDill Pond on Tuesday as the wait continues for the lake district to take over ownership the McDill Pond Dam.

City Council member Mike Phillips and lake district member John Jones helped Fritz Gollon of Central Wisconsin Fish Farms with the restocking, releasing 5,000 crappie fingerlings into their new home in the McDill Pond near Heffron Street. The young fish swam under a thin layer of ice, fluttering their way into the pond's icy waters.
